What a night. 🎨🏳️‍🌈

Last Friday, you showed up and showed OUT for our Pride Month Art Crawl. The energy, the art, the people. West Colfax was electric and we are still feeling it.
This is what Pride Month is all about. Community, color, creativity and a space where everyone is celebrated and everyone belongs. You brought all of that and more. 🌈
Thank you to every single person who came out and made the June Colfax Art Crawl one to remember. This community never misses. 🙌🧡

One of our own needs us right now. Fellow 40 West artist Charles Livingston was seriously injured in a bicycle accident on May 11th and faces a long recovery ahead.

Charles is a creator, a cyclist, and a beautiful human being who has given so much to this community. Now it's our turn to show up for him. If you're able to donate or simply share this post, it makes a real difference for Charles and his family during this time.🧡
